I have a right and responsibility to call out bigots every day and twice on Sunday. Until you repent, I will not stop calling you a bigot, nazi-adjacent, jew hating trumper. Because you are, and you should face up to being called that.
I really don't understand why people who spend time on a politics message board absolutely refuse to do any research.
And to call me a bigot for my criticism of the genocidal apartheid state and their power in out govt is uber beta,
1. You hate Jews, not just Israel. Your many posts pointing out who is Jewish and who isn't proves that. You are a nazi-adjacent bigot and you always have been.
2. That one article has 30 strong things Biden did. You show us how lame you are by not choosing, say, "Countering China with a new alliance between Japan and South Korea," whereas Trump has basically abandoned our Asian allies to China.
or
"Reinvigorating cancer research to lower death rates" whereas trump is taking massive steps to make American less healthy and is purposefully destroying enormous amounts of health research.
I'm willing to make it more difficult to vote for the very small number of people who want to vote but somehow have no government ID.
This says 1% of Americans have no government ID. I suspect just about anyone who has made it to adulthood with no ID is not a regular voter anyway, so voter ID laws would not take away many votes.
But sure, it's a tradeoff. More security and faith in elections in exchange for making it harder for some to vote.
Walter Harris, a 94 year old Republican in Ohio, didn’t have his vote counted in the 2024 Presidential Election, because he gave up driving due to age and hadn’t renewed his driver license and Ohio’s voter ID law prohibit using expired IDs for voting.
Alberta Currie was born at home to a midwife in North Carolina 1936 and was never issued a birth certificate, which she needs in order to obtain an ID to allow her vote. North Carolina allows her to obtain one, providing a blood relative attests to being present at the time of her birth. However, her only living sibling is a sister living out of state with advanced dementia, making it impossible to attest to Ms. Currie’s birth.
Samie Louise Bates moved from Illinois to Texas in 2011. The ID she had was an Illinois identification card, which wasn’t sufficient to vote in Texas. She was required to get a copy of her birth certificate from Mississippi, where she was born, for a fee of $42, more than 10% of her monthly income, which she couldn’t afford.

Both sides want to win…Democrats want to allow things like same day voter registration to make it easier for likely Democrat voters to be able to vote. Republicans want to make it harder for likely Democrat voters to be able to vote.
No replace "Likely Democrat" with American.
Democrats want to allow things like same day voter registration to make it easier for American voters to be able to vote. Republicans want to make it harder for American voters to be able to vote.

If $42 is more than 10% of your income you make less than $420 per month: $5040 per year. How is that even possible?
(((Harry Enten))) @ForecasterEnten Americans agree with Nicki Minaj when it comes to voter id. 83% of favor photo voter id to vote per Pew. This includes 70%+ of Democrats and Republicans, as well as 75%+ of Americans across races.... White, Black, and Latino. It's not controversial.
Honestly, most Americans think you should have to show some form of ID to vote. I think that. In my election district, you state your name, sign, and you can vote. It's too lax, it doesn't make any sense.
Showing ID for something as important as voting just makes sense. And that's why most Americans support the idea.
Of course, conservatives will revert to their Jim Crow souls and demand black people show up at some office that is open for 15 minutes once every three months to get some form of ID. I really wish southern right wingers would just be decent people.
The IDs and the paperwork to get them have to be essentially zero cost. Most other countries have a national ID that costs next to nothing but we have 50+ governments here, each with their own rules and standards of proof, and if you’re a poor, older person who was born at home and never got a birth certificate, you may not have many avenues to obtain an ID that will allow you to exercise your right to vote.
No smart person really thinks that ineligible people are voting in our election to any measurable degree. This is a big issue for the GOP because it gives them a way to make it harder for US citizens who usually support Democrats from voting.
The simple solution is to automatically register everyone to vote based on a social security number. Social security numbers starting with a "9" are for non-citizens.
Social security numbers starting with a "9" are called ITINs (Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers) and are used for non-citizens (certain nonresident and resident aliens, their spouses and dependents) to allow them to pay taxes, but not get any social security checks when they retire.
BUT! Republicans will never allow the above easy way to happen because voting is too easy and they will never win again. What republicans are ignorant about is that the Founding Father's counted on the evolution of political parties to adapt policy to appeal to the masses. Republicans stop adapting in the Reagan years and as a result falling out of relevance. Republican are proving they can't find their self-inflicted stupidity.

The best way to determine if it is voter integrity vs voter suppression is to watch how much financial resources the GOP is willing to spend to make sure each and every American can get their new voter ID.

It would cost a lot of money to give everyone a voter ID...it would be a waste.

What is controversial is what the Peanuts cartoon I posted is about. The Rs will used the IDs to prevent voting at the last second due to some made up reason. Such as, "You don't look like you, your skin looks darker than in this picture?", "Your signature doesn't perfectly match your signature from 20 years ago," "You didn't bring your original birth certificate ... copies are not accepted."

Wrong. It is called a Social Security card, idiot.
And to call me a bigot for my criticism of the genocidal apartheid state and their power in out govt is uber beta,
1. You hate Jews, not just Israel. Your many posts pointing out who is Jewish and who isn't proves that. You are a nazi-adjacent bigot and you always have been.
2. That one article has 30 strong things Biden did. You show us how lame you are by not choosing, say, "Countering China with a new alliance between Japan and South Korea," whereas Trump has basically abandoned our Asian allies to China.
or
"Reinvigorating cancer research to lower death rates" whereas trump is taking massive steps to make American less healthy and is purposefully destroying enormous amounts of health research.
1. Prove it. Show evidence. Nobody can cuz it's not the case
2. It's all Dem BS. Countering China? Please. Reinvigorating cancer research> Bullspit
